I want to show a user navigating through a website. I hit
record, and clicked from the home page, to about 4 layers deep.
Captivate only recorded the first page and it's actions. How can I
get captivate to record the whole progression?

Did Captivate just end the recording? Or are you saying there
were issues with what it did record? Captivate is known for
capturing blank screens when recording things off the WWW. The
reason is that it runs very fast on the local computer. So you
click a link and the screen is captured. But that screen may not
have rendered completely because images and whatnot haven't yet
loaded up. Hence the blank or partial screens.

My issue is a bit different. I would like Captivate to record
my navigation through 3 consecutive pages, resulting in one slide.
Instead, it stops recording with the first page, even while I
contiue to navigate the other two pages. I then have to record
three pages seperately, resulting in three seperate slides.

Indeed this is the way Captivate is designed to work. It is
"event driven", where it simply takes snapshots of the assorted
screens and blends them with mouse movement. The final illusion is
a movie. ;)

You could try using full motion capture for this. You press
F9 to kick it off, then F10 to stop it. However, I'll warn you up
front that if you try it this way, it is way beyond the bounds of
the intention for full motion in Captivate. Full motion is intended
for very brief bursts, such as moving a window from one place to
another. Or dragging a scroll bar down the page. Things that would
normally take a couple of seconds to complete.

Thanks Rick!
Are the other Macromedia/Adobe forums this responsive? Are
there experts what monitor and assist as promptly as you have? My
company is considering eLearning/LMS software, and support is a big
part of the equation.

LOL, I really wish I had the answer to that one from a 10,000
foot perspective.

I'm involved with only the Captivate and the RoboHelp and
once in a blue moon, the Breeze forums. And the Captivate and
RoboHelp forums have always had a long history of being, ummm,
helpful. I think it may help you to know where they come from. See,
I and others here come from an initial use of a product called
RoboHelp. This is a product used to develop Windows help files. So
it doesn't seem a stretch at all to think that if a person likes
developing help files, they just might like helping folks out
generally. So we try to be very helpful here. And it's not just me.
There's Larry (CatBandit) and Paul DewHurst and Steve Shipe. All
are a really great bunch of guys! Hmmm, thinking about it, hey
gang, we seem a bit lop sided here. Seems we need a female or two
for our Adobe Community Expert group for Captivate!
